Thank you very much for your help.But,I have a test Colloidal Gold 3rd generation from hospital only ,I didn't have an ELISA test. Is there any difference?
cmia reported to be positive in that report ELISA is negative. Respectively on 8 March, 30 March and 3 may go on a test center for HIV, the test is ELISA HIV1 2 (Ag AB), report the result is negative. I would like to ask the doctor I can exclude the?? and test center staff told me that CMIA inspection accuracy than ELISA high.
Can HIV ANTIBODY TEST(ELISA<HIV ! & ANTIBODY) test after 6 months fi fully conclusive????? I hb done ELISA test aftr 6 mnths of exposure???? Can I be 100% confident tat I m HIV negetive as the test came back non reactive with ANTIBODY 0.020 OD........will I have to test aftr ! yr?
No 168 days can be conclusive..... because old elisa test can't detect antibobies in 3 months..... so the test at 6 months can be conclusive.... if you are immuno compramised (i.e diabetic, t.b. vitamin deficiency.
probably the best to consult your GP, or Dr. EWH or HHH online; but I don't think you need more test.
Few days later (total 10 days after exposure) I went to medical center and took an ELISA test the result is negative. At the same time I came down with diarrhea for few weeks. About 2 weeks later I experienced rash at neck and armpit. It is recovered now.
Please find my question below
1. Does the ELISA test result accurate after the dizziness and fatigue happened first?
2. In fact I experienced the dizziness suddenly during walking in a shopping mall.
All i can say is i wish you well, if its after 3months then put your feet up-relax and never do it again, abstinance is the best defense, ive had 3 elisa one pcr and next week i go for another elisa (week 6) i have all the symptoms of sero illness and am as scared to death.I feel ive just screwed up a very bright future that i had.
That said i wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart.If you are negative dont take any more chances...not even with a condom.
I went to donate blood 1/20/2014 I got a letter stating I tested repeatedly reactive for the elisa hiv test. They did a IFA confirmatory test which came back negative and also took a sample of my donation and put it with a pool of other samples for a NAAT test which also my pool came back negative or non reactive. They told me that I was not living with hiv and can come back in 6 months to try again. Now 2 weeks after I got that letter I took an oraquick home swab test which came back negative.
I am not familiar with an ELFA HIV test and thus cannot directly compare it to the stand ELISA assay. If the test is liscensed for use by the US FDA or the EU, it is reliable. If it is not or you do not know and are concerned, then you should get re-tested with a test you are assured is reliable. The odds of infection from a single exposure to a partner of unknown HIV status however is very low. Thus, even without testing, your risk for HIV from a single exposure is very, very low.
my doctor is said to me to give pcr-rt (quantitative) test? what is pcr? I am very worried.
There is a lot of new tests but elisa is just the type of test, there are 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation of elisas, and there continue to be a lot of research for new tests, the newest teste tend to be rapid test accurate as elsia tests, there has been also improvement also in the NAAT tests, and some labs are trying to come up with a new 5th generation rapid test (PCR+Antibody+p24) but is not ready yet.
My husband had positive elisa test with 3.45 value in august 2016 for hepatitis c. Then he got treatment aND it showed 0.85 value in January 2017. He got checked his hepatitis C by elisa test again two days back. It showed a value of 85.0. He's active n doing job. No cough or any other symptoms. He did it as just a routine checkup. Please guide if elisa test can be 85.0 ?? What should we do next? Much worried! !
Dear Doc (and forum readers),
About a week or so ago I needed to get a medical check for work. When I got my results back, I was shocked to be told that the Elisa test came back as HIV reactive at 1.52. They tested it twice. I really have no idea what that number stands for, though.
I don't have sex. No girlfriend. And I don't sleep with street workers. As far as I can remember, I have not come into contact with blood (except when killing mosquitoes).
hello, i had protected sex with an hiv positive girl (i just discovered), i had sex with her twice, but she gave me several oral sex, i saw some blood on my penis in one of them, from her mouth i think.. i have no symptoms untill now, i did Elisa test 52 days after 1st time and 20 days after last time and today it´s been 2 months since 1st time (the day i saw the blood) and 1 month after our last time.
